A Collection Of Five Hardware-shop samplers.

A rare collection of five original Victorian hardware shop display samplers, each professionally framed to showcase an extraordinary range of decorative metal fittings once offered by a hardware merchant. Dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, the boards feature an array of cast brass and iron furniture components, including ornate drawer pulls, escutcheons, cabinet feet, key blanks, hooks, rosettes, and decorative mounts. Many pieces retain handwritten stock numbers and pricing annotations, offering a fascinating glimpse into the working life of a period ironmonger’s showroom.
